I'm not much of a movie watcher. I saw about ½ of these so many years ago that I'm not sure what they were about or whether I liked them. I'm mostly into spending my free time reading and listening to music. Movies take too much time and I rarely remember what they were about the following morning.

Casablanca was an old Clark Gable movie? I saw those on TV when I was a kid. I liked watching those old b/w movies. I think I likely saw The Godfather in the '70s. Al Pacino? I think it was pretty good. Seventh Seal and Vertigo: both Hitchcock? I like Hitchcock and have watched most, I think. Annie Hall is Woody Allen. I think I liked it. I sort of liked those subtle, quiet psychological comedies he did then. The Apartment? Was that a horror? If so, I think I saw it and I think it was good. Saving Private Ryan: Goldie Hawn? If so, I liked it. 8½? That doesn't sound familiar. Chinatown? Another Woody Allen? Something tells me I saw it and it was good, but I don't recall what it was about. Gangsters, maybe? I think I liked it. Raging Bull: Sylvester Stallone? It was a boxing film and I'm sure I liked it. Lawrence of Arabia is another one from my childhood, but I also saw a colourized version in the cinema in the '70s, I think. A classic. Rules of the Game means nothing to me. I doubt if I ever saw it or even heard of it. The Seven Samurai is a classic Toshiro Mifune film by Akira Kurosawa. I liked it a lot. It was based on a classic western, the name of which I forgot. I really like Toshiro Mifune and have seen a lot of his films and also Kurosawa's.

I wonder if I can watch any of these films for free online? I don't pay for media, unless I want to own it (eg., classical CDs, my DVD set of Have Gun Will Travel). I know the public library has a fair number of movies on DVD, but I also have a smart TV, so I should be able to get free films that way, non?

For me it's the Godfather and its sequel. Both, completely engrossing and electrifying. By the way is there any movie that has had a better sequel than Godfather 2?

A definitive NO! The closest sequel to being that good was "The Empire Strikes Back." Completely different genre, but all things considered Godfather 2 is the best sequel that I've ever seen. It was actually better than the first.

The Italian restaurant scene with Michael doing his first "job", Sonny taking care of his sister's abusive husband and "getting it" at the toll booth, Don Corleone, keeling over while playing with his grandson; I could go on and on.
